Pros & Cons
Pros
It improves the performance of my laptop greatly. Works good, have only been able to run it on 1200 mbps read and write due to my laptop's limits. All is okay except a little pity that there's no screw includes.
Crucial is one brand i have come to trust when looking for ssd or ram. Mbr is best for certain legacy software compatibility. I have a dell e7470 that came without internal storage and only accepts this kind of drive.
Cons
Sustained write speed drops off a cliff down to 30-40mb/s. It drops off to 90mb/s again. If you write legit data (real world data) to this drive, this drive craps out at the 120gb data mark. It can't handle large files like.
Highlights

Price
500gb at this price you can't go wrong.
- affordable- does the job- i don't need my m.
Would get a 2400+mb/s would be nicer if it was a bit cheaper.
The difference is well worth the price.
Shipping
Item was exactly as pictured, works perfectly, and arrived several days ahead of schedule.
Bought this because i was running out of storage, arrived within a few days (1 day delay).
